It's pretty obvious what his grand plan was, we have a few days of wartime nostalgia (which he bloody loves), at the end of which he swoops in and becomes the nation's hero on a Sunday night, opening a load of stuff and returning us to a semblance of normality. What a ruddy guy, eh.
Unfortunately for him, viruses do not work like that, the data doesn't support what he wants and this isn't for once a situation where he gets to do whatever he likes.
So we get this empty void of nothing and muddying of the waters, more questions than answers, and now a nation where different constituent parts are doing different things. All because he had to have his big showbiz moment (rather than putting it through Parliament like someone normal would do, and Lindsay Hoyle has already bollocked him for this).
You're not Ant and you're certainly not Dec. Leave primetime TV to the experts, you try to run the country, after all it is your job.
